Dying Stars Help Create New Stars

This article is somewhat interesting. It discusses a new understanding of how stars behave when they die. When a star dies, it loses control of its outer layers of gases. These layers apparently become eddies and whirlpools around the star. They star mixing with interstellar gas, and are dispersed quite a distance. The significance of the discovery is that it helps to explain how new stars can then form. If the old star's material gets mixed back in with interstellar space and is spinning at the time, it helps the next generation of stars to start forming. Basically, the dying star starts its outer layer spinning like a top, shoots them off, and they collect other interstellar gases into their spinning vortex, thus triggering the creation of a new star(s). Knowing this is useful as it has long been a question how the universe recycles the material from dead stars. This looks like a pretty good answer for some of the process at least.
